“Today’s milestone builds on decades of automotive experience and highlights LEM’s commitment to excellence. I am proud of our teams and the dedication that went into achieving this,” says Raphael Surrel, Vice President of Quality, LEM.
“Our intent is clear: To deliver solutions that adhere to the highest international standards, worldwide. Customers can be confident that our products meet the strictest requirements for quality, performance, and safety throughout their entire lifespan.”
LEM works with major car, bus, and truck manufacturers as well as Tier-1 suppliers. Its automotive solutions portfolio spans battery management systems, motor control applications, DC/DC converters, on-board chargers (OBCs), and electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE).
The certifications come as part of a wider concerted effort by LEM to define and implement a standardized and enhanced management systems across the group.
Therefore, certifications often involve multi-site collaboration. In achieving the IATF standard, for instance, LEM Japan, LEM Europe, the LEM Tech France R&D Competency Center, and LEM headquarters directly contribute through various supporting activities.
The knowledge and expertise sharing within the group makes obtaining these certifications for all sites at LEM possible. Exchanging best practices and providing support to build competencies accelerates the learning curve across all sites and compounds employee skill sets.
LEM’s continuous progression model comprises increasingly diversified compliance efforts. It addresses the expectations of all stakeholders, including customers, investors, authorities, and LEM employees. Pursuing this range of certifications ensures LEM always operates according to the most demanding standards and drives efficiency across the group.
LEM’s rich compliance history began in 1993, when LEM headquarters in Switzerland achieved ISO 9001. This was followed by LEM China in 2002 and subsequent locations.

Pursuing advanced certifications and deploying them globally creates significant value for LEM customers. It strengthens the LEM portfolio while embedding best practices, driving efficiency, encouraging knowledge sharing, and accelerating time-to-market.
